Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi unveiled his latest art installation Discovering Columbus 75 feet above Columbus Circle in New York yesterday, and everyone celebrated by looking up the statue's skirt and not hugging it.

The installation consists of a "fully furnished, modern living room" built around the 13-foot high statue of Christopher Columbus perched atop a tall granite column in the explorer's eponymous circle. The monument was built in 1892. The living room features a large TV and is accessible by elevator.

Already, people are proving that they can't comport themselves like grown-ups around this statue: The New York Post has images of one polished-looking 48-year-old lady reaching her hand up toward the statue's crotch, to see if he could find a big ol stone dick there or what.
